Derrick Johnson will be available

[SwagAces9030]

How would you guys feel about bringing in Derrick Johnson and letting him and Davis split reps at OLB next season? I actually wanted him in the 2005 draft over Davis at the time, but both have had stellar careers, would be nice to see them playing together.

We already have TD and Shaq splitting reps. We need pass rushers and DBs on defense, not more LBs.

Haven’t really kept up with his career lately, is he still producing? Wonder what kind of money he’s looking for.

I mean I'm sure he would come cheap, and cheap depth can't hurt. We're a Shaq Thompson injury away from Davis having to take all reps.

I agree with this.  We don't need another aging out vet in a position of strength.

fwiw he was top 5 ILB on PFF this year.

 

Doesn't really make any sense for us though...

Not cheap enough to make any sense for us. If we really want to improve LB depth, draft someone in mid-late rounds.

This. Cheap for us when it comes to LB depth would have to be close to veteran minimum and I'm sure someone will offer Johnson considerably more than that.

A 35 year old free agent LB......No thanks

Get mim., and a backup roll? 

I don't get how that makes sense. Sorry. 

[WOW!!]

No... Just No.. We don't need to sign the retirement home at position of strength.. I swear some you start these threads to increase your post counts...smh
